Someone gave me a logo they have of a drawn owl. However, the pieces of it aren't selectable. It is shown in a square if I click on it. It is not grouped. I tried outline mode and it's gone. When I try image trace it disappears. I tried bringing into PS and taking just the pink, selecting all the pink and placing in a new doc, saving and reimporting into AI. Same thing. Attached is the original owl. Any thoughts?

Amy,

 

The preview seems to be empty.

 

You can show the owl directly if you use the Insert Images button at the top of the Reply box (looks like moon over mountains).

It's a pixel image.

Trace it in Black & white and move the threshold slider to the right. Then you get the image.

Thanks. I tried that and it just gives me a black box.
